Meany Greenie – 11 March 2008

What is a Meany Greenie?

Meany Greenies are individuals and environmental organizations that
support hunting, animal slaughter, and animal farming while soliciting
donations for the protection of the environment and wildlife. This is
both hypocritical and counterproductive to an otherwise noble and
important cause.

In today’s mail we received just such a solicitation requesting a
donation – this one is from a Meany Greenie called Earthjustice. Nowhere
in their enclosed “2008 Docket” which lists national and international
issues under headings such as “global warming,” “clean air,” and
“environmental health” is there any mention of the enormous pollution
from animal agribusiness and the clearing of the rainforests to grow
feed crops for cattle who emit more greenhouse gases (methane) than all
forms of transportation in the world combined.

To learn which organizations are reputable and focus on true
environmental protection without hunting and animal slaughter, and how
to identify Meany Greenie organizations, so that you don’t end up
donating to them thereby aiding the opposition, please visit:

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
